I did these macros for this assignment, and noticed that they look quite different when reversed. Is it just me, or do others see the difference? These are the exact same photos, only rotated 180°.

This is actually a very cool optical illusion! I worked out how it's happening, but still ... very cool!

Loving all of the interpretations.

Have to say - the Beatles album - clever...----


The key board shot. mbrager or MA - I can't figure out what makes it work, please enlighten me --- mbrager - cool observation and sharing with us here!

I'll draw up a diagram if necessary, but first try looking at the top photo only from directly in front ... and then look at it from about 45 degs to the side of your monitor.
What you will see is when the keys look raised, the keyboard is right side up. When they look indented, your mind still see's the keyboard right side up, when it's actually upside down ... i.e ... the keys are hanging from under the keyboard.

MA: Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense. On my iPad when I spin the pictures around, they change according to which way is up.
Susan: Thanks for the comment on the album, but it's Elvis, not the Beatles. Big difference.

You are both wrong, that is not an album, it is a CD
